Surge On Smith Live in Deep Ellum

We tested out some of the new material we wrote at two concerts during my Texas time. We had the great privilege of sharing the stage with the talented songwriter Eric Beatty.

Joel Tolley made the live show something much more interesting with his work on the upright bass. Good stuff. I am continually surprised at the responses we get to this Surge on Smith material. In my over twenty years of making music, I've had the chance to be a part of some amazing partnerships and musical endeavors. I love the moments when we were able to give something of real value to an audience and engage them in a way that goes beyond just singing a song, but those moments can be rare. The regularity with which they occur with Surge On Smith surprises and delights me and I am privileged to be a part of writing and sharing these songs.

About Me

A love for the arts, connecting people and seeing them grow is behind much of what I do. Songwriting is my main artistic focus and has been part or all of my income for many years. Leadership development work with small emerging organizations has been most of the rest. Some friends and I started the Dandelion Seed Company artists network to help artist grow. We have been very small and organic for a decade and are now expanding.
